MICHELIN DURING THE WAR
THE MICHELIN HOSPITAL
When the Great War broke out, Michelin at once converted an immense
new four-storied warehouse into an up-to-date Hospital, with Operating
Theatre, X-Ray, Bacteriological Laboratory, etc. Seven weeks later
(September 22, 1914) Doctors, Dispensers, Nurses, Sisters of Mercy,
and auxiliaries were all at their posts. The first wounded arrived the
same night. In all, 2,993 wounded were received.
All expenses were paid by Michelin.
The story of how Michelin did "his bit" during the war is told briefly
and simply in the illustrated booklet, "The Michelin Hospital", sent
post free on application.
